'alt' Parameter Does Not Work in 'files().get()'

[Scemist]

The alt option does not work on files().get(): alt as [json, media or proto] always returns the json metadata format.

There is no error, but it ignores the parameter.

Environment details

• Alpine Linux 3.18.2
• Python 3.11.4
• Pip 23.1.2
• google-api-python-client 2.94.0

Steps to reproduce

1. Normally Use the Library;
2. After successfully auth and get the file id;
3. Use any of the following lines of code to get the file content:

Code example

If You Pass Whatever Accepted Option, The Reponse is Always the Metadata

file = drive.files().get(alt="media", fileId=id).execute()
file = drive.files().get(alt="proto", fileId=id).execute()
file = drive.files().get(alt="json", fileId=id).execute()

The response:

{
  "id": "dfjjh1394hf1eijdhf1s",
  "kind": "drive#file",
  "mimeType": "text/plain",
  "name": "Filename"
}

But if You Try a Wrong Option, It Throws the Error as It Should

 file = drive.files().get(alt="nonexistante", fileId=id).execute()

The Error:

TypeError: Parameter "alt" value "nonexistante" is not an allowed value in "['json', 'media', 'proto']"
